Chapter 8 Entering the County

Could it be that she ran away without asking for her Household Registration Certificate? In that case, they would suffer a great loss.

"No, the things are still there. Fortunately, she should have gone out."

Mrs. Xu discovered the things of Wan Qingkong and was relieved. She had been scared just now.

Zhou Gen was hungry, so he asked her to cook. As a result, he heard a scream from Mrs. Xu.

"What's wrong?"

Could it be that they had been robbed? Zhou Gen came to the kitchen with a frown.

"Look, look, is Wan Qingkong a mouse? She almost used up all of our seasonings."

Mrs. Xu pointed to the jar with seasonings for Zhou Gen. Although there were not many kinds, there was still half left when they left.

According to Mrs. Xu, they could still eat for half a month. But what happened in the end? They had only been gone for a few days, but the jars were empty.

"Hey, you two are back? How's it going?"

Wan Qingkong came down from the mountain and went straight to the kitchen when she heard the noise.

Looking at the ugly faces of Zhou Gen and his wife and then at the seasoning jars next to them, she knew why they were angry, so she handed over the wild duck and fish she had just caught.

"To offset the cost of the seasoning."

"There's no need to be so courteous."

Mrs. Xu looked at the duck and the fish; her face changed instantly. Although she said politely, her hands held the duck and the fish tightly as if she feared Wan Qingkong would regret it.

Wan Qingkong didn't care about the attitude of Mrs. Xu. She cared more about the Household Registration Certificate.

"Have you completed the Household Registration Certificate?"

"It's done, but I can't give it to you now. How's your discussion with the Wang Family going?"

"They agreed, and the date will be decided on the day as before. Please feel free to arrange the rest. Don't worry, I won't escape from the marriage."

Wan Qingkong knew what Zhou Gen and his wife were worried about, but she had no objection to their decision to give her the Household Registration Certificate when she got married with Wang Qingyan.

They were on guard against each other.

"I'll look it first and then go to the county."

Although they didn't check the Household Registration Certificate on the county, she still needed to know the information on it, when she was in trouble. The most important thing was that Wan Qingkong also wanted to know whether the Household Registration Certificate was real or not.

Zhou Gen took out Wan Qingkong's the Household Registration Certificate and showed it to Wan Qingkong. After finding that there was no problem, Wan Qingkong felt much more at ease.

"Why did you enter the county?"

Zhou Gen was a little worried. He was afraid that Wan Qingkong would do something terrible to them.

"Don't worry. I'll just go and have a look. I won't cause any trouble."

Wan Qingkong knew what Zhou Gen was worried about. She smiled and promised that she would be cautious.

Wan Qingkong was even more worried than the other party that she would be recognized, so he covered her private parts.

Mrs. Xu didn't dare to let Wan Qingkong cook, so she drove Wan Qingkong out of the kitchen and started to cook dinner.

Although Wan Qingkong replenished the food, Mrs. Xu still felt pain when she looked at the empty bottle, so she naturally put less food in it.

"If she marries into the Wang Family, she will probably be despised."

Early the following day, Wan Qingkong went to the mountains with the ginseng she had dug up before. She caught some prey and then follow the former huntsman with her cart to the county.

This was the first time Wan Qingkong had seen such a lively scene.

The county was a little small but utterly different from her village. Wan Qingkong just felt that something was wrong.

Even if she had lost her memory, it shouldn't be the first time she had seen such a folk atmosphere, right?

"Could it be that I used to be secretly trained in the deep mountains and forests? That's why I'm unfamiliar with so many people, but I'm very familiar with the mountains.

It seems that my previous identity was really shameful. That's why I didn't have such a chance to wander on the street leisurely."

Once again, Wan Qingkong decided to protect her little hidden identity.

Fortunately, her Household Registration Certificate had been done. Otherwise, she would have been in more trouble.

Wan Qingkong made simple inquiries about the price and then sold her prey by the roadside.

It was a hundred copper coins more than selling to the huntsman, but it was a waste of time.

It was a pity that she didn't have enough prey. Otherwise, selling them directly to a restaurant would be more convenient.

Wan Qingkong went to Liu'an Tang, the largest pharmacy in the county.

She had asked the buyers about Liu'an Tang when selling her prey. They all had a good opinion of Liu'an Tang, so Wan Qingkong told her the purpose of her visit directly.

"May I ask if you wish to collect the medicinal ingredients here?"

"If it's a precious herb, we'll accept it."

The shop assistant had a good attitude. Wan Qingkong first took out the common medicinal materials she collected.

The shop assistant looked at them and shook his head. These were relatively common. Their pharmacy was not short of this kind of medicinal material.

This girl should not be able to process medicinal herbs. If the medicinal properties were damaged, it would be even more useless.

"Do you want the ginseng?" Wan Qingkong took out her ginseng.

Everyone's eyes lit up. The quality of this ginseng was good enough, so they had to buy it.

"Please wait for a moment. I'll go and invite the shopkeeper right away."

After saying that, the shop assistant went to the inner hall and told the shopkeeper what had happened. The shopkeeper looked at Wan Qingkong with a smile.

"How much are you going to sell it for?"

The shopkeeper was also very satisfied with the ginseng. Although they were not short of ginseng, the more this medicinal material, the better. In particular, Liu'an Tang was everywhere, so they always lacked good medicinal herbs.

"Could you give me a price? If I'm satisfied, I'll sell it."

Wan Qingkong had gone to another pharmacy in advance to ask about the price of ginseng. If her ginseng were sold there, it would valued at about 70 taels of silver.

Wan Qingkong hoped it would sell at 55 taels of silver because the county's development rate was not high.

The shopkeeper was a little hesitant. It was not convenient for him to offer a price.

Although the girl was dressed in ordinary clothes, she looked calm and did not look like an ordinary person.

"Fifty taels of silver. The way you deal with this ginseng is not very good. I think it's because you're not a herb picker so I can give you fifty taels of silver."

Wan Qingkong was not a professional and did not know how to process medicinal materials, so it was customary for the ginseng to have some losses.

The shopkeeper should have given her the room to bargain, and it was not much different from what she had expected. In fact, Wan Qingkong was quite satisfied.

"55 taels of silver. I still have some ordinary medicinal herbs here. Take it as a bonus."

Wan Qingkong took out the medicine she had given to the shop assistant.

Although Liu'an Tang did not lack this kind of medicinal material, if Wan Qingkong took them to another pharmacy to sell, she could sell so many medicinal materials for half a tael of silver.

The shopkeeper looked at the other items. They were all commonly used medicinal ingredients. They were common, but the quantity was considerable. Moreover, the other party's price was within his acceptable range, so he nodded.

Wan Qingkong took the silver and went straight to the bank. She had 58 taels of silver in her hand now.

Therefore, she saved 50 taels of silver in the bank and exchanged eight taels for convenience.

With money in her pocket, Wan Qingkong naturally had to spend it. She didn't know how to make clothes, so she could only buy some ready-made garments.

Now, she was wearing the clothes of Zhou Qiao'er. She didn't like the style, and it didn't fit her. The previous conditions didn't allow her to change it, but now Wan Qingkong didn't want to make herself feel wronged. She planned to buy some clothes.

Wan Qingkong would treat her better if she had money. She did it great as well.
